Community Spotlight: ChiChi
This week, we are featuring the amazing work of ChiChi (he/they)!
They are a mindful Minecraft content creator and social justice advocate on Twitch, TikTok, and YouTube!
We asked them some questions about their time fundraising for charity on Tiltify, so let’s get into it!
Tiltify | Twitter | Twitch | Instagram | TikTok
How much have you fundraised?
$Individual: $1,327 Team: $3,620
What is the next fundraising campaign you have planned?
I am a To Write Love on Her Arms Ambassador participating in the Suicide Prevention campaign for September: https://tiltify.com/@chichistreams/psoybeans-twloha and I also plan to use the new Tiltify Personal feature for some disabled pals next month!
What is your favorite moment of fundraising?
I think my favorite part of fundraising has been my community's capacity to extend to those in need. Recently, an organization which had no donations even reached out to say thank you for being the first to raise funds for them!
Why do you choose to fundraise?
I choose to fundraise because it can be an educative tool. For instance, raising money for refugees from Sudan has allowed me to speak to people about why Sudanese folks are in need. I also love all of the incentives I do with my community when I fundraise!
What Tiltify tools have you used that made an impact on your fundraising?
The search function on Tiltify has allowed me to discover so many initiatives. The search feature is how I actually started to raise funds for Sudan, and it was very important to me to find that initiative.
What is a fun fact you’d like to share?
I love the Sanrio character, Keroppi! If anyone else loves Keroppi, let's be pals!
What advice do you have for anyone fundraising for the first time?
For anyone hoping to raise funds for any initiative, understand that the amount you raise is not all that matters; bringing awareness means another person can start their own event, too! You are supporting just by starting an event for a campaign.
